CRAFT Challenge 106, Fathers' Day.

Morning all,

This week at CRAFT Challenge our challenge this week is Fathers' Day.

Our sponsor this week is Some Odd Girl and you can win 3 images of choice from their shop this week.

For this week's project I have made a card for my husband. I have used 'Fishin' Tobie' by Some Odd Girl and 'Bubble Bath' by Sassy Studio Designs and some of my own papers. Hope you like it.

Thank you for looking. All comments very welcome and much appreciated. Have a good weekend!

Love,

Jo.

Morning all,

This week at CRAFT Challenge our challenge this week is Wedding/Love.

Our sponsor this week is Digi Doodle Shop and you can win a $10 voucher for their shop this week.

For this week's project I have made a Wedding card for the daughter of our colleague. I have used a few stamps by Digi Doodle Shop and put them together to form the picture on the front of the card. The papers are from my new Wedding3 set, created especially for this occasion. Hope you like it. I have put some glitter on the dress to make it look a little more special. I have also decorated the inside of the card.

And here is a freebie from this paperset if you like. You can find another one on my digistamp blog.

Here are previews of the stamps I have used.

I'm sure you will be able to recognise them, they are great fun to use.

Thank you for looking. All comments very welcome and much appreciated. Have a good weekend!

Love,

Jo.

CRAFT Challenge 104, Alter/Recycle.

Morning all,

I hope you all enjoyed our birthday celebrations last week, please have a look at our blog and at the (G)DT's individual blogs for the winners of this special celebration.

 

This week at CRAFT Challenge ur challenge this week is Alter/Recycle.
Our sponsor this week is Meljen's Designs and you can win 4 of her images of choice this week.

For this week's project I have decorated a few boxes to store my handmade cards in. My plan is to sort them into categories like Christmas, Birthday, Girl/Female, Boy/Male, Thank You, etc.

Here are the ones I made. For 3 I have used some boxes used for A5 papers and the 4th one is an old Amazon box that one of my hubby's order came in.
Hope you like them.

For the first one I have used the Artist's Mug image from our sponsor. The first picture shows the original box and then the varying stages of change.

For the second box I have used the image from Designed2Delight for this week's challenge. I will also enter it into their challenge. Hope you like it.

And for the last 2 boxes I have used images from Sliekje. She has some really cute (and free) images.
One of these boxes (the Amazon one that is somewhat bigger than the others) will be used to store Christmas cards made already. Guess I should start to make a move on with those, I will need around 200 again at the end of the year.

Thank you for looking. All comments very welcome and much appreciated. Have a good weekend!

Love,

Jo.
